...Will you permit me through your columns to urge those who have not yet subscribed to the University Crew to give as much as they can when called upon. The crew, by their victory of last year, certainly deserve the support of the college. This year, as those who saw the report of last year's treasurer may recall, the crew started in with a debt of nearly twelve hundred dollars, and I earnestly hope that this debt may be entirely cancelled, and the Boat Club left free from debt at the end of the year.

Down in the basement the dull thud of falling tenpins is heard, and in the 'cage' prospective pitchers and catchers are preparing for the base-ball season. Shut...
...rubbed their hands with glee as the lucre rolled in." What depth of expression and of insight into human nature is here expressed. A poor, common-place mortal would have supposed those hackmen were rubbing their hands to keep warm, but the poetic soul of this Yale editor saw that the motion displayed "glee as the lucre rolled in." Just where or into what the lucre rolled he neglects to tell...
